When you wake up every day and prepare to go out into the world, be sure you are spiritually dressed for the occasion. Clothe yourself with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, patience, and love. Imitate Christ’s compassion with a forgiving attitude towards everyone.

Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience. Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity. Colossians 3:12-14 (NIV)
